DeSmuME, a popular Nintendo DS emulator for Windows, Linux and OS X has been updated today. According to the authors, compatibility has increased substantially in this release. The changelog for this release is below:

Users of gtk, cli and gtk-glade frontends please note that now we

have a common directory in ~/.config/desmume for config file,

saves and savestates. The old .desmume.ini will be moved

automatically with the name config but you have to move your saves

manually.

 

Some save files may be invalidated due to use of broken crc logic.

Back up your DSV files before using this version of the emulator or else

the game might wipe it.

Ootake, a Turbo Grafx 16 emulator for Windows has been updated today. Here's a list of what's new in this release:

• The entire volume balance has been adjusted.
  
• The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine. In the start demo of "City Hunter", the problem that the lower side of the screen has fallen into disorder by one frame (generated by v2.40) was solved. I think that the timing has approached a real machine in even other games.
  
• "Force V-Sync (All Hz)" was added to "Setting->Screen" menu. When the check is put in here, the V-Sync setting is permitted regardless of the PC display environment. Use it with an old video card etc.
  
• Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
  
• The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file about details and notes, etc. http://www.ouma.jp/file/Ootake241-for98.zip
